Light cycle screw up...

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere on here, so sorry in advance. Daylight savings kicked in 3 days ago and the 18/6 light cycle was thrown off for a about 3 days, when I remembered and went to adjust my timer I screwed up and the lights were off when I got home today. I have seedlings and clones that I'm vegging and the clones are showing sex at about 8 inches tall. Did I screw up my seedlings and clones? Will they stay in Veg? I'm not sure how long the lights were off before I found out.

Daylight Savings Time wouldn't effect the amount of light and darkness. If your timer was set correctly they would still be getting the same exact amount. You would just notice it turning on and off an hours difference.

It takes 7-14 days after light change for the plant to change to flowering hormones. So don't worry about a day or two, you're fine.
